I woke up at around nine this morning and got ready. Layla had apparently gone out to get me some clothes after I told her some of my style and had set out breakfast for everyone.
It was currently eleven in the morning and I was still stuck with the clothes from yesterday. I had Anthony's hoodie still on and Anthony seemed fine today at breakfast. I looked outside and wanted to go out. Would they let me after the run-in with the other pack? I sighed in thought until I felt a presence behind me.
I turned around to see Jake behind me and I smiled up at him in greeting. It was then I remembered I had questions for him. I went to the couch and patted the seat next to me. He followed and sat, leaning back and putting his arm on the back of the couch behind me. I did not mind it since he was not touching me or anything, nor making a move yet.
"You wish to ask me questions, huh?" he asked with a knowing smile.
"Yeah, about my family and such."
I looked up at Jake and the sadness I felt must have shown in my expression.
He sighed and shook his head before answering.
"Your family has been notified that you have say- run away from home, but they know you are in safe care. You might be able to see them again, but I cannot and will not promise anything."
Well at least there was some hope, right? They knew I was safe even though I never would really run away from home like that. I sighed again and slumped into the couch, my tilting up and resting on Jake's arm now.
"What about schooling?" I just had to ask.
"What about it? You'll be homeschooled just like the rest of the young ones here."
Gee great, but it could not be that bad.
"Why haven't I been 'in school' then?"
"The tutor is ill for now, but when they recover they will be back."
I just nodded and sat silently for a moment before I remembered about the point where I wanted to go outside.
"Jake, can I go outside?" I asked tentatively, not sure if he would say yes.
He looked down at me to study me for a moment, but I did not look away from his eyes.
"Yes, I'll go get John and tell him to meet you outside."
He said… yes! My jaw dropped and I bounced up and down on the couch.
"Thank you, thank you!" I told him before taking off to go outside.
AN:
Short, short, shhh! I know! Trust me though, something else is coming up.
